✪ Comic book hero Tintin, is gay. So says London’s The Times. Just like Dumbledore. Gotta love the Brits.

✪ Gay, conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan asks two excellent questions on gay marriage: “Why do social conservatives not want to encourage stability, responsibility and commitment among gay Americans? What real policy do they have for gay Americans at all?”
✪ “I have no interest in redefining your definition of marriage. What I want is for you to stop redefining mine.” So says gay Flaming Politics vlogger, Japhy Grant, in “An Open Letter to Rick Warren: How Can You Be Against Gay Marriage and a Friend to Gay People?”
✪ Change.org’s Michael Jones discusses “Obama’s Hot and Cold Moments on LGBT Rights“. DOMA, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, King & King (the gay prince book, not MLK), high-level (though not high enough) appointments of GLBTs.
✪ Remember those 700 Episcopal congregations that didn’t like the consecration of a gay man to be bishop of New Hampshire, so they split? Well, turns out, you can leave the church, but you can’t take the church with you. All their property belongs to the Episcopal Church of the United States, not the local parishes. That may become a factor for other churches’ decisions later.
✪ We may have been dissed when Obama chose Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation, but Obama has included one lesbian couple as part of the sixteen families who will join him on his “Whistle Stop Tour”.
